8533176 is what they call a multi function relay that is used in a wide variety of applications. Those relays hardly ever fails and they can be found easily.
4433801 is the head light high/low beam relay. That new P/N seems to last for a long time and I haven't really had to replace one yet.
The 9000 uses 3 different head light relays in engine compartment relay box. 88/90 (9553546). 90 and up 9566647 (that is superseeded to 4433801).
9553546 is black and the other two is red. When looking at the pin lay out, they all have the same numbers so you would think that the older black would fit the newer red application BUT it must be a reason why Saab haven't superseeded the black relay number to the red ones?????
I know that I have seen a whole bunch of the black ones melting the relay box by overheating, so that could be one improvement they did to the newer red ones. But I cannot say why they don't suggest to use a red relay for the black one.
I wouldn't pay money for a used black relay.
4224192 is another multi function relay that I haven't seen fail.
One relay that do go bad though is the orange colored bulb failure relay, P/N 4109070.
